Iam trying to get legal custody of my ex boyfriend's dog
Incident:
On Monday, May 6th of this year my boyfriend and I at the time drove over to Spokane, WA to pick out and purchased a 7 week old Miniature Australian Shepherd puppy, from a backyard breeder. After getting the puppy from the backyard breeder, we didnt get any information on how to care for, nor were we given papers for authenticity of the puppy.
After returning back to our apartment in Sandpoint, ID, I paid attention to the puppy and its needs, but since the puppy wasnt fully house trained and continued to have a few accidents in the house, and my ex would become forceful when rubbing his nose in the accident(s), and my ex would only feed the pup once a day, but beg me to fill up his bowl, soon my ex would retaliate again my will for trying feed the dog. As the days progressed I had noticed a lack of interest in the dog coming from my ex, while I ended up bonding more with and looking out more for the dog.
On the day of the break up, my ex wanted me out but I wanted to still have time with the puppy, but he claims the puppy is his but it occured to me that he doesnt have papers or any proof that he bought the puppy nor registered the puppy in Idaho.
Now since I had registered my puppy in my name in the state of Idaho, and he didnt, does that make any difference, or will i have to go to a small claims court to get official custody of the dog
